This article about the lack of representation of those who are darker skinned, typically African American minorities, within the United States was another example of how lack of diversity in the work place can reflect back onto products. The reason I say this is because the sensors within the automatic machine are usually infrared or heat sensors, to cut the explanation short, the sensor typically shoots out light and wait for it to bounce back, however with those of a darker complexion, not as much light is reflected back. It may be presumptuous to insinuate that this is a lack of diversity within the workplace issue, however, I would like to believe when creating these sensors and knowing how they detect motion, that these inventors are intelligent enough to look for what may cause these machines not to be completely efficient, melanin, and how they can reduce problems; however it doesn't seem like they had those who are of a darker complexion in mind when sending these automatic machines to manufacturing.
